HOW TO PLAY THE LICENSING GAME

Each team gets a Remix Sheet - this is where you

will mix the resources we give you and create a

new, legal resource.

Each team also gets three sets of content cards to

place on their Remix Sheet.

Place one of each type of Content on the Remix

sheet. Determine whether or not the set of content

cards is a legal remix of licensed content. Correct

answers win a prize!
